  1. Beautiful bracelet! I wear silver more than the other metal finishes so this is a favorite for me.

    Great news for you about jury duty! I stress out over it.

  3. Omg it's so funny you posted this because I ordered the o beads in jet so I could make the same exact color scheme. I am getting them in tomorrow and I have them all lined up in my mat waiting!! Great minds huh!

  5. I LOVE this pattern, I've made two of these so far, one using the blue and silver colors, the other with Turquoise Bronze DD, Jet Bronze O beads, Dark Bronze seed beads and Chalk Senegal Brown Purple SD. Each one I make is my new favorite. Thanks so much for sharing your work!

  6. Correction, I've made three... the third one with Coral Bronze DD, Antique Silver DD, etc... made it too small, so I gave it to a friend with very small wrists, she loved it.

  7. Do you have a website where I can look up all bracelet/earring patterns that you have featured on Pinterest?
    I would love to have it as a reference for future
    use.
    I always enjoy your use of colors/sharing of patterns and ideas.

    1. They're all here on my blog. Probably the easiest way to find what you're looking for is to click on a photo on Pinterest which will take you to my blog post about that item.

  8. Hello Linda. Lovely work you do! I'm very interested in making this bracelet (bluebell), but am having trouble finding the supplies. Is there a certain site that might carry all of these beads? I am a beginner and would appreciate any help or guidance you could give. I have the pattern downloaded, so there's a start!

    1. Hi Jenny. I don't remember where I got all of the beads because I get them from a lot of different places. Also, DiamonDuos are getting a little harder to find now that some shops are selling GemDuos instead of them. You can substitute GemDuos but I'm not sure if they come in the same shade of blue. If you don't have any luck at the sites below, try the link on the right to sites that sell DiamonDuos and O-Beads under Where to by...

      Aura Crystals

      Queen City Bead

      Red Panda Beads

    2. Thank-you for your reply! I actually could not find the right DiamonDuos at those links, but was able to find both the DiamonDuos and O beads on Jill Wiseman's site.

      Forgive all the questions, but which weight/color of FireLine? What size jump rings? And what size needles do you recommend for this project?

      I appreciate your time in answering me. While I have done a lot of research and have watched many tutorials, this will actually be my first project :-)

    3. I'm glad that you were able to find the beads. I use 6 pound Smoke Fireline and 4mm jump rings for most things. I use size 12 Tulip beading needles. They're very expensive but they last much longer than regular beading needles. One needle usually lasts me several months vs a couple of weeks for a cheap needle.
